An article just posted yesterday on the Telegraph puts it as plain as you can get it;

A father stabbed his partner to death after she threw him out of their bedroom so she could spend the nights playing on a Sony PlayStation Console.

Malcom Palmer, 62, turned on the mother of his three children after she became hooked on Grand Theft Auto. While she was busy getting her game on, he was forced to sleep on the sofa in their living room. Carol Cannom, 46, stayed up all night gaming away (typical of gamers) after her son, 10, was done playing for the evening. Her son would typically play until midnight, and then Ms. Cannom would take the controller from that point on.

“Carol quickly became hooked. He was very unhappy about the amount of time she was playing on the PlayStation,” Said John Pini QC for the prosecution.

The court also heard how Palmer had become convinced that Carol was having an affair, and went on a violent rampage when she told him she wanted him to move out last year. She even went as far as threatened that he would never get to see his children again.

That very evening, Palmer attacked Carol with two knives, inflicting 20 seperate wounds to her upper chest. The murder was overheard by their son James, who called the police. Palmer picked the phone up from his son and simply said, “I’m sorry. I think I’ve killed her.”

Palmer’s defence lawyer Timothy Spencer QC told the court: “The genesis of this tragedy bizarrely lies with the purchase of the PlayStation.” Palmer admitted to the murder and will be sentenced this Wednesday.
